MARC recordImplications of the break-up of Wordie Ice Shelf, Antarctica for sea level / David G. Vaughan.
| Title: | Implications of the break-up of Wordie Ice Shelf, Antarctica for sea level / David G. Vaughan. |
| Author(s): | Vaughan, David G. |
| Date: | 1993. |
| In: | Antarctic Science. (1993.), Vol. 5(4) (1993) |
| Abstract: | Ice shelf has been disintegrating since 1960s. Breakup is analyzed, using Landsat and SPOT imagery. Relative contributions of input glaciers to grounding-line flux has not been transmitted upstream and is not causing rapid increase in velocities on input glaciers. Volume of grounded ice in catchment of ice shelf will thus be largely unaffected by breakup and there will be no significant contribution to sea-level change. Since other ice shelves around Antarctic Peninsula are also fed by relatively steep mountain glaciers, effect of loss of ice shelves on sea level would be likely to be similarly small. |
